Worms (Germany), 1526 British Library C.188.a.17 Who was William Tyndale? He was a scholar and theologian who was born in Gloucestershire at the end of the 15th century. Tyndale was educated at Oxford and then at Cambridge. An impressive scholar, fluent in eight languages, he was ordained as a Christian priest in around 1521. Tyndale returned to Gloucestershire to serve as chaplain and tutor to Sir John Walsh and his family. This work enabled him to continue his study of religious texts. During that time he translated a tract by Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutchman whose writings argued for personal faith: a direct relationship between the individual and God, not one mediated and controlled by the Church hierarchy. Why all the fuss about a Bible in English?

William Tyndale January 1st, 2006 @ 1:00 am by Rich Share This Comments: none Filed under: ChurchRodent Because England was no safe place to translate the Bible, Tyndale left for the Continent, never to return. By early 1525, his New Testament was ready for the press. Tyndale narrowly escaped arrest at Cologne, but managed to see the book published later the same year at Worms. It could almost be said that every English New Testament until this century was simply a revision of Tyndale’s. He translated the New Testament and parts of the Old Testament including the Pentateuch. He was unable to complete the Old Testament because he was betrayed and arrested near Brussels in 1535. In October, 1536, after seventeen months in prison, he was strangled and burnt. It is reported that his last words were: "Lord, open the king of England’s eyes ".

One statue there is erected to the memory of William Tyndale. William was born in 1493 in the county of Gloucester. Little is known of his childhood, but as a young man he was educated at Magdalen Hall at Oxford and later attended Cambridge University. In 1520 Tyndale accepted a post at Little Sodbury as tutor and chaplain in the household of Sir John Walsh. In this home he had many theological discussions with priests of the area. In 1408 a law had been passed forbidding any translation of the Scripture into English and warned that any one caught reading the Scriptures would be excommunicated. Clerics argued that "ordinary people could not understand the Bible if they had one," but Tyndale had a burning desire to bring the truths of the Bible to the common people around him. Tyndale vowed to one priest, "If God spare my life, ere many years, I will cause a boy that driveth the plough to know more of the Scriptures than thou doest!" With this determination Tyndale sought the permission and the encouragement of the Bishop of London for his endeavours. He was refused so he left England, never to return again.

28. Commemorative Sermon: William Tyndall All through this year there have been celebrations of the birth of william Tyndall. A birth is something we can readily celebrate it is an occasion for http://www.tyndale.org/Reformation/1/runcie.html

Commemorative sermon: William Tyndall 6 October 1994, St Paul's Cathedral The Rt Revd Lord Runcie All through this year there have been celebrations of the birth of William Tyndall. A birth is something we can readily celebrate: it is an occasion for parties, presents and greeting cards. Yet you will appreciate tonight we have something slightly different, something about which we are likely to have more ambiguous feelings. For on 6 October we remember not Tyndall's birth, but his death: a death that was a classical example of martyrdom: the execution of one lonely, helpless prisoner by the greatest political power of sixteenth-century Europe, the Holy Roman Empire. The form of death was as unpleasant as any of the multitude of deaths for religion that took place in that unhappy century: Tyndall was strangled and then his body was burnt at the stake. So tonight, although this is the central act of a year of celebration, we commemorate such as we celebrate. We do so within the carefully structured liturgical form devised another great churchman of the Reformation who died at the stake for his beliefs two decades after Tyndall: Thomas Cranmer. It is a good setting, because a commemoration is always a thoughtful ceremony, and the memories that it will arouse are not likely to be straightforward. For commemoration is not just remembering a past event, as we might casually remember a pleasant day out, or remember to post a card for someone's birthday; it is a more solemn, systematic act. It involves an honest, careful assessment of ourselves, and what this past means for us.

Scholars and Scientists William Tyndale Translator of the first English New Testament Tyndale had discovered this doctrine when he read Erasmus's Greek edition of the New Testament. What better way to share this message with his countrymen than to put an English version of the New Testament into their hands? This, in fact, became Tyndale's life passion, aptly summed up in the words of his mentor, Erasmus: "Christ desires his mysteries to be published abroad as widely as possible. I would that [the Gospels and the epistles of Paul] were translated into all languages, of all Christian people, and that they might be read and known."

Thomas More , Scholar, Martyr (6 July 1535) John Fisher , Bishop, Martyr (22 Jun 1535) Miles Coverdale continued Tyndale's work by translating those portions of the Bible (including the Apocrypha) which Tyndale had not lived to translate himself, and publishing the complete work. In 1537, the " Matthew Bible" (essentially the Tyndale-Coverdale Bible under another man's name to spare the government embarrassment) was published in England with the Royal Permission. Six copies were set up for public reading in Old St Paul's Church, and throughout the daylight hours the church was crowded with those who had come to hear it. One man would stand at the lectern and read until his voice gave out, and then he would stand down and another would take his place. All English translations of the Bible from that time to the present century are essentially revisions of the Tyndale-Coverdale work. The best summary I know of Tyndale's writings on grace is found in C S Lewis 's English Literature in the Sixteenth Century, Excluding Drama (Oxford Up, 1954)

When he sought support in London from Bishop Cuthbert Tunstall, he failed to find it and was forced to leave England under a false name in 1524. His first translation of the New Testament was finally published in 1526 and copies were smuggled into England. The reception by religious authorities was hostile; however, while they did not object to an English translation as such, they did object very strenuously to the commentary which Tyndale included with his work. As a result, copies of his work were ceremonially burnt and agents were sent out by Henry VIII to hunt him down and arrest him. Tyndale was right to be afraid of English spies because one, Henry Phillips, betrayed him in the Netherlands and he was arrested while visiting Antwerp in 1535. He was charged with heresy, put on trial, found guilty and condemned to be burned at the stake - although he was strangled first rather than burned alive.

William TYNDALE Born: ABT 1495, Slymbridge, near the Welsh border Died: 1536 His date of birth is unclear, with sources giving dates varying between 1484 and 1496. He was born most probably at North Nibley (15 miles s.s.w. of Gloucester), England. He received his degrees from Magdalen College, Oxford, and also studied at Cambridge. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1521, and soon began to speak of his desire, which eventually became his life's obsession, to translate the Scriptures into English. He became chaplain in the house of Sir John Walsh , at Little Sodbury in Gloucestershire, in about 1521. It is reported that, in the course of a dispute with a promminent clergyman who disparaged this proposal, he said, " If God spare my life, ere many years I will cause a boy that driveth the plow to know more of the Scriptures than thou dost ". The remainder of his life was devoted to keeping that vow, or boast. He had admired the teaching of Erasmus at Cambridge (he made an English translation of the master's Enchiridion) and was certain in his heart that the way to God was through.

His simple, clear style was a model for subsequent English translations of the Bible. William Tyndale was born in Gloucestershire and educated at Oxford and Cambridge where he became a strong supporter of church reform. He was ordained as a priest in around 1521 and returned to Gloucestershire to serve as a chaplain to a member of the local gentry. Tyndale's controversial opinions attracted the attention of the church authorities, so in 1523 he moved to London. His intention was to translate the New Testament into English, which was strictly forbidden. He believed passionately that people should be able to read the Bible in their own language, but such translations were by this time closely associated with Martin Luther and other Protestant religious reformers.

He become attached to the doctrines of the Reformation and devoted himself to the study of the Scriptures. The open avowal of his sentiments in the house of Walsh, his disputes with Roman Catholic dignitaries there, and especially his preaching, excited much opposition and led to his removal to London (about Oct., 1523). There he began to preach, and made many friends among the laity, but none among ecclesiastics. Tyndale sought to translate the Bible entirely from its original languages into English so that common people would be able to study from it.

37. COB-NET Historical Notes: William Tyndale Coverdale was not an expert in foreign languages and his New Testament source is principally that of william tyndale. Footnotes Observations http://www.cob-net.org/text/history_tyndale.htm

William Tyndale Born: 1494? ~ Gloucestershire, Great Britain Died: 1536 ~ Vilvorde (Vilvoorde), near Brussels Note: Bible translator, church reformer Tyndale's translation of the New Testament in 1526 was the first English Bible to appear from a printing press, and to be translated directly from Greek rather than Latin. He was also the first to use a Greek Text compiled from newly arrived Byzantine Greek manuscripts from the east. Many of his phrase selections are so powerful and descriptive that they are frequently retained in modern translations. Upon learning that Martin Luther had just issued a Bible in German, he was further inspired to replicate this enterprise for the good of England. Since the Constitutions of Oxford were still in effect, and an attempt to work under the supervision of Cuthbert Tonstall, Bishop of London, proved unsuccessful, Tyndale sailed to Germany and began the work of translating. In 1526, the first complete New Testament in English was printed in the city of Worms, and the first shipment of Bibles arrived in England within a few months. It had references to parallel verses in the inner margin, and commentary in the outer margin. It also followed the same New Testament book order as Luther. Bishop Tonstall, confiscated and burned many of the early copies, and tried to purchase others in Europe before they could arrive in England. Tyndale used the Bishop's money to print even more Bibles, and circulation soon increased. Unknown to Tyndale was the fact that political winds were changing back in his native England. Henry VIII had begun quarreling with Rome over his unfruitful marriage to Catherine, Thomas Cromwell who liked the idea of vernacular Bibles was rising to a position of influence with the king, and Tyndale's chief detractor, Sir Thomas More, had resigned as Lord Chancellor.

Chapter 40 William Tyndale: Father of the English Bible Introduction We all have many Bibles in our homes: our own Bibles and our children's Bibles, as well as family Bibles used for family devotions. Most of us have the King James Version of the Bible, sometimes called the Authorized Version, prepared under the aegis of James I in 1611. It is a sad fact that our Bibles often lie unused, taken for granted, a somewhat peripheral part of our life. Yet behind our Bibles stands a story of great heroism, towering faith in God, and drops of martyr's blood. The story is that of William Tyndale, fathe r of the English Bible. Tyndale's Early Life William Tyndale was born sometime in the early 1490s on the Welsh border into the home of a well-to-do farmer. He went to Magdalen Hall, Oxford where he received his M.A. degree in 1515 and was ordained into the Roman Catholic clergy. In that same year he transferred to Cambridge University probably because he had heard that the Greek New Testament of Erasmus was available there, and he was interested in reading Scripture in its original language. One must understand the situation in England at this time. Henry VIII, husband of many wives, was on the throne. Dedicated Roman Catholic, but bitter enemy of the pope's rule in England, Henry persecuted Protestants on the one hand, but separated the church of England from papal control on the other hand. The church itself was rife with evil, wickedness in high places, and fornication of every sort. One of the chroniclers of the age characterized the priests as running from the houses of prostitutes to the altar to perform mass; incapable of understanding the Latin in which they mumbled their liturgies; superstitious and worshippers of such relics as a gown of the virgin Mary, a piece of the burning bush of Moses, straw from the manger at Bethlehem, and a complete skeleton of one of the babies murdered by Herod the Great; drunkards and gluttons whose wicked lives were supported by the blood, sweat and tears of the common working folk.

IIIM Magazine Online , Volume 3, Number 6, February 5 to February 11, 2001 WILLIAM TYNDALE Covenant Theologian, Christian Martyr Part 1: Background and Early Biography by Jules Grisham INTRODUCTION “But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will put my law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord” (Jer. 31:33-34). A.G. Dickens wrote that: In England as elsewhere, the Protestant Reformation sought first and foremost to establish a gospel-Christianity, to maintain the authority of the New Testament evidence over mere church traditions and human inventions masquerading as universally approved truths and ‘unwritten verities.’” And, in England, it was Tyndale upon whom fell the burden of drawing the academic enterprise of humanism out of its university setting and bringing it to the people in the form of the English Bible. “In giving them the Scripture in the common tongue,” Hughes tells us, “he was giving them power to study and come to know God’s word themselves, that they would no longer need rely on the mediatorial role of a priestly clergy, but would know God’s word as it was written on their hearts.”
